Surprising how few differences there are. King working piston seems much better but I think I have weak preference for pretty much everything else about the Fox.

the res on the fox is nicer.

the adjustable compression knob on king and ability to just choose king springs from same vendor is nice.

I haven't noticed them on any car. Figured maybe they were a new release.

You think 6 or 8 will make them much cheaper? I guess get a number but I don't think I'll be able to say yes before our trip, much as I'd like to.

They are only a compression adjustment. It certainly does not take the place of proper tuning and valve stack adjustments.

I dont think shock type matters at all, its the tuning that makes the difference. SAW, King, Fox, Bilstein, Radflo, FOA, whatever, they need the time to get tuned that makes the difference.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Same argument.
